It appears that one of MONID pins on the DVI port of these cards is not properly wired. This results BIOS detection code always reports a CRT physically connected on the DVI port even there is none. This can cause some strange behavior of the driver. I'm thinking to rewrite the detection code and also add an option for user to overwrite the connected monitors. Meanwhile there are two workarounds assuming you don't want to modify the source code directly. 1. Connect you CRT to the DVI port. 2. If you have to use the VGA port, you can try to set CloneDisplay option to 1 or 3. You may also need to use CloneHSync and CloneVRefresh options to tell the driver with the correct timings of your monitor.
